Terrarium building is one of those rare skills that makes you feel like an actual wizard -- and this Long Beach workshop is where that magic happens! Whether you're hunting for fun things to do in Long Beach, searching for a one-of-a-kind date idea, or looking for the perfect activity for a bachelorette party or girls' day out, this hands-on class checks every box. You'll walk away with a beautiful, self-sustaining terrarium you built yourself, plus a solid understanding of how to actually keep it alive and thriving.
During the workshop, you'll learn how to make a terrarium from the ground up -- plant selection, design, and assembly included. Your instructor will walk you through which plants play nicely together in a terrarium environment, how to layer your materials, and how to create something that looks gorgeous and functions beautifully. You'll also get practical guidance on watering, lighting, pruning, and pest control, so you leave feeling genuinely confident (not just hopeful) about caring for your new green creation.
A few things to plan for: arrive 10 to 15 minutes early for smooth check-in, and note that restrooms are not available on-site. This class makes a thoughtful gift idea for plant lovers, a creative activity for curious beginners, and an honestly great excuse to do something memorable with people you love!

Plantiitas is a queer and POC-owned plant and gift shop nestled on 4th Street in Long Beach, California — a labor of love that quite literally grew from the shelves of founder Kevin's apartment into something truly special! What started as a passion project blossomed into a thriving community hub, offering a beautifully curated collection of tropical houseplants, stylish planters, and handcrafted goods from over 55 local vendors. Their motto, Para Todes Sale El Sol — "For everyone, the sun rises" — says it all.
Beyond being a plant shop, Plantiitas is a gathering place where everyone is welcome. They host a lively calendar of workshops and events — from terrarium classes and repotting sessions to pottery, candle-making, paint nights, and open mic evenings — all with an inclusive, community-first spirit. Whether someone is a seasoned plant parent or just starting their green journey, Plantiitas makes it easy to feel right at home!
